A glabrous tree, the brandies and branchlets terete or the 

 latter compressed at the nodes, brown or pale-brownish, 

 smooth. Leaves opposite, coriaceous, oblong-ovate to oblong- 

 elliptic, ? to 9 cm. long, 3.5 to 5 cm. wide, subequally narrowed 

 to the acute base and to the blunt acuminate apex, when dry 

 brown, shilling, the lower surface paler than the upper, eglan- 

 dular or very obscurely puncticuiate, the base slenderly 5- 

 plinerved, the inner pair more prominent than the outer, 

 extending to the apex, scarcely or not at all arched between 

 the ends of the. lateral nerves, the latter usually about 7 on 

 each side of the midrib, ascending, irregular, anastomosing, 

 the reticulations rather lax, distinct; petioles 5 to 8 mm. long. 

 Panicles terminal, lax, about 7 cm. long, branched from the 

 base, corymbose-cymose, dichotomously or trichotomously 

 branched, the flowers 4-merous, 3 to 6 at the tip of each 

 ultimate branchlet, slightly angular, the buds oblong-obovoid, 

 about 5 mm. long including the pseudo-stalk, brown and some- 

 what shining when dry. Calyx-lobes 4, broad, obscure.

This species is apparently as closely allied to Eugenia 

 mulleri, Miq., as to any other species, but differs conspicuously 

 in its distinctly acuminate leaves.
